Did a search on MR intakes and none answered my question
« on: July 06, 2015, 07:01:56 PM »
Bought a C7ZX intake yesterday and did some searches but only found a reference to a C7AE intake.
Were there other Medium Riser intakes? Jay's book only tested the C7ZX from what my search gave me just now.
If there were others what casting # or from my search some had none? 
Asked too much on the FEForum (value) and the thread got off track.
The only reason I asked about value is my wife would like to know what I've got in the shop (insurance wise) if I get hit by a car while running  :-\ or some other travail.

Thanks in advance
Richard

http://www.mustangtek.com/FordIntake.html      I hope this works. Great find by the way. Later, Travis  Just tried the link - it works, scroll down the page. Can't speak for accuracy though.

OK, I'll bite.... In MY opinion your manifold assuming it has no issues like cracks, stripped threads, shade tree modifications, milled to fit excessively decked block/heads,  holes where there should be no holes and so forth, I would guess in the $1100-$1300 range for the bare manifold. I made my guess-estimation based on what I have seen complete setups go for. These are original FoMoCo manifolds, correct [not repros] original BK-BJ carbs [no mods and correct metering blocks and throttle plates] with extra points for other orig. carbs like BC-BD carbs, complete linkage, air filter and fuel log. I have seen the complete setups go for the $2600-$3000 range. And as time goes on should increase in value.

Not looking for a value here but asking which other intakes are 2X4 medium riser besides the C7AE 9425- A.

Thanks    Richard

I haven't paid too much attention to the casting numbers over the years, but the only two I've seen are the one you listed, plus the C7ZX intake that came on the Shelbys.  There may be more, but I for one haven't seen them...

Since you didn't mention single or dual plane specifically, the only one other than what's mentioned above, that I know of, is the tunnel wedge. I believe there may have been a couple of 2x4 experimental versions made (I remember seeing at least one, many years ago), but they are super rare and hardly worth mentioning.
